Loki Pre-order

The Loki pre-order has been a bit lethargic.  Quite a few of the people who expressed interest have gone silent. 

For those that do pre-order, here is the plaque you will receive with the kit. 

Loki Pre-Order

The Loki is now at the caster.  As JPG Productions is currently MONTHS behind on the Atlas and has the Owens and Fafnir to do, I have moved production to Timeslip Creations...they did the Bushy and the Thor. 

Now...as the regular caster is behind (WAY behind) my business model has taken a bit of a hit.  This means I won't be able to offer a pre-order discount on the Loki.  What I will do is offer a plaque (like with Vulture IV, Atlas, & upcoming Owens) for paid pre-orders.  This pre-order will be limited to 20 units total. The price will be $135 plus shipping. If you are interested, please let me know HERE. Make sure to let me know if this will be shipped to an addy in the lower 48 or outside/international.  

Note, the toes will be different on the production version

The new toe design is circled 

General Update and End of Year Closeout

Good day all.  Just a quick update...the caster is still having issues and there is still a backlog on getting the Atlas done.  I apologize about the wait, but it will be worth it.  The kit is awesome if the demo copy he sent is what I send out. Lots of pieces...lots of resin. 

The same caster has the Owens and the Fafnir so don't expect those to be out anytime soon.  I am in discussions with another caster to work on the Loki in the meantime.

Finally, I am having an end of the year close out sale.  If you buy one kit, it is 20% off.  Two or more kits will be 30% off.  

Mechwarrior Online Atlas preview

The first MWO Atlas came in today for me to approve...and it looks good.  For those that qualified for the "I had to wait 7 months for the Vulture MK IV" discount, you are getting this for a steal.  Jimi at JPG really discounted this thing for taking so long on the MK IV...and that discount got passed along to you. This amount of resin and number of parts would easily retail for around $200.

Take a peek...build-up to come. 

Update

Well, well, well.  The Owens and the Fafnir are both at the caster.  Expect the Owens first...then the Fafnir.  Fair warning, the Fafnir is going to take a lot of resin and the pieces are big which means big mold which means lots of rubber. Count on this bad boy coming in at about $200. Start saving your pennies today. 

The Thor is back in stock.

Not sure when I will restock the Warhawk.  The last couple units sold where in a "fire sale" and I am not sure I feel like having pricey inventory sitting on the shelf, especially when the money can go into new products. 

The same is true of the Vulture MK IV.  I still have 2 of the original 25 just sitting here collecting dust. 

Good News...Bad News...

So, which do you want first? The good or the bad?  Well, lets just get the bad news out of the way. Celtic Works, the new caster, has had to close shop for the foreseeable future.  That means no Owens kit. Insert sad face here.

Good news:  I am about done with the Hellbringer (Loki).  There is some cosmetic touch up work to be done, but she is about there.

That being said, as I am now down to one caster mechs are going to trickle out for a while.  JPG is working on the Atlas and then I have him tasked on the Fafnir.  The Owens and Hellbringer are just going to have to sit around for a while. Another sad face here. 

Guess what is at the caster's?

Trying out a new caster...CelticWorks.  He does lots of armor stuff and expressed an interest in casting mechs.  Since Jimi at JPG Productions is still getting caught up after his accident, I figured I would give Steve a shot. Expect the first 10 in about a month or so.
